My love for Weleda products, and the positive experiences I’ve gathered with the company over the years, have brought me here, to Palisades, NY. I’m a German university student in my last throes; my focus is on American and Scandinavian studies, as well as cultural anthropology. Before finishing my studies next year, I wanted to gain some more experiences abroad, and I was excited to get the chance to work at Weleda North America, as an intern in the Communications department. I am looking forward to learning more about the world of Weleda and to blogging my experiences and sharing them with the Weleda Community.

Why Weleda? My fascination for the company has grown ever since I was a PR/Communications intern at Weleda Germany in 2006. I felt right away that Weleda is more than a business—it’s also a way of life. To me, it’s about people and our connection to nature—a relationship I think many of us are finding it harder to cultivate nowadays.

What fascinates me so much about Weleda is that it’s modern and traditional at the same time. In Germany, Weleda products have a long history and have always stood for high quality. More than that, I would even say they create a feeling of nostalgia for many Germans. When I mention to people there that I work for Weleda, their eyes begin to shine and they immediately start telling me all about their favorite products and how Weleda has been part of their family “forever.” It makes you feel so good!

As for me, my personal well-being favorites are the Iris Cleansing Lotion and, especially in the fall, the Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion and the Everon Lip Balm. What are yours?

Amazing!!! I have dry skin overall, but am oily in my T zone sometimes. I have a little eczema on my face and am getting older, so I have those trouble spots - you know what I'm talking about if you're older. I am in love with this product, it's the first time I have found something that actually feels like it deeply and truly revitalizing my skin. It smoothes things out and if I decide not to wear makeup on the weekend and put this on after my shower, my face looks like it's glowing (and stays soft all day). It is seriously refreshing to have found this.I have been using it about 3 times a week and it's a miracle for me this winter. Don't ever get rid of this product, please!!!

I just started using the White Mallow facial cream (baby derma) on my adult skin, and I can't thank you enough for this product. I have sensitive and very dry skin, on top of living in Minnesota which has one of the coldest driest and longest winters in the country. Since using the White Mallow facial cream, my skin has felt soft and moisturized all day, and I only need to apply the cream once a day, which is unheard of for me in the winter; usually I need to re-apply a few times. This is remarkable given that I spend a lot of time in the cold winter windchill, as I bus all over the city every day. All that AND the cream is fragrance free, which is a must with my sensitive skin. My skin also looks so much healthier, and I have fewer blemishes. Prior to this, I had used the same facial lotion for a year, and while it moisturized well, it made my skin look red and very dull for some reason. I wish I had tried this Weleda product much sooner. It's so uplifting to see that my facial skin looks healthy again and that it even can look healthy in the winter even despite the dry weather. I hope Weleda continues this specific product for a LONG time! Thank you!
